Backing a club that brings people together

On any given matchday, people from different backgrounds come together to share the same experience, support the same team and take part in the same conversations.

That's why Forest Green Rovers is important to Gloucestershire, and it's also why we're proud to be involved by continuing our partnership with Forest Green Rovers for the forthcoming season.

As a Gloucestershire business, we've always believed that being part of a community means more than simply operating within it. One of the reasons we're excited about our work with Forest Green Rovers is the opportunity to spend more time with the people and businesses that make this county such a great place to work. Some of the best conversations happen outside the office, and football clubs have a unique way of bringing people together.

Of course, we always hope people become more familiar with Lister Unified Communications through our involvement with the club and we're looking forward to sharing our experience over the coming season. However, we also believe local businesses have a responsibility to contribute to their communities and it's important to us to take part in that.

Through its work with schools, community organisations and charitable programmes across Gloucestershire, Forest Green Rovers has become a positive force beyond football. The club has built a reputation for creating a positive impact both on and off the pitch, bringing together supporters, businesses and local organisations from across the region.

Harvey Long, Account Manager at Lister Unified Communications, said:

"We've worked with Forest Green Rovers as a customer for some time through the two-way radios we provide, so it's particularly rewarding to build on that relationship through this partnership. As a football fan myself, it's exciting to be involved with a club that's ambitious both on and off the field, and one that plays such an important role in the local community."

"We've already attended our first networking event for the season and it's been brilliant meeting people from such a wide range of businesses. We've had some great conversations already and it's opened our eyes to different industries and the varied ways organisations are using technology. It helps us think differently about the ways our products and services can be used and ultimately helps us better support organisations across a variety of sectors."

As the new season approaches, everyone at Lister Unified Communications is looking forward to supporting Forest Green Rovers and helping celebrate everything the club contributes to the local area.
